Since the banning of speed glue, the JOOLA x-plode with incorporated speed glue effect caused a sensation among players, who were seeking an alternative for the speed provided by speed glueing. The spin elastic, very grippy upper rubber in combination with the medium hard, large-pored sponge characterise the JOOLA x-plode. The unprecedented catapult effect and the sensational spin provide “x-plosive” strokes with unrivalled rotation.
